Disulfuric Acid
Disulfuric acid (alternative spelling disulphuric acid) or pyrosulfuric acid (alternative spelling pyrosulphuric acid), also named oleum, is a sulfur oxoacid. It is a major constituent of fuming sulfuric acid, oleum, and this is how most chemists encounter it. As confirmed by X-ray crystallography, the molecule consists of a pair of SO2(OH) groups joined by an oxide. Reactions It is also a minor constituent of liquid anhydrous sulfuric acid due to the equilibria: :H2SO4H2O + SO3 :SO3 + H2SO4 H2S2O7 :2H2SO4 H2O + H2S2O7 ''Global The acid is prepared by reacting excess sulfur trioxide (SO3) with sulfuric acid:H2SO4 + SO3 -> H2S2O7 Disulfuric acid can be seen as the sulfuric acid analog of an acid anhydride. The mutual electron-withdrawing effects of each sulfuric acid unit on its neighbour causes a marked increase in acidity. Disulfuric acid is strong enough to protonate "normal" sulfuric acid in the (anhydrous) sulfuric acid solvent system. There are salts of disulfuric acid, com ...

Disulfate
In chemistry, disulfate or pyrosulfate is the anion with the molecular formula . Disulfate is the IUPAC name. It has a dichromate-like structure and can be visualised as two corner-sharing SO4 tetrahedra, with a bridging oxygen atom. In this anion, sulfur has an oxidation state of +6. Disulfate is the conjugate base of the hydrogen disulfate (hydrogen pyrosulfate) ion , which in turn is the conjugate base of disulfuric acid (pyrosulfuric acid).

Pyrophosphoric Acid
Pyrophosphoric acid, also known as diphosphoric acid, is the inorganic compound with the formula H4P2O7 or, more descriptively, HO)2P(O)sub>2O. Colorless and odorless, it is soluble in water, diethyl ether, and ethyl alcohol. The anhydrous acid crystallizes in two polymorphs, which melt at 54.3 and 71.5 °C. The compound is a component of polyphosphoric acid, an important source of phosphoric acid. Anions, salts, and esters of pyrophosphoric acid are called pyrophosphates. Preparation It can be prepared by reaction of phosphoric acid with phosphoryl chloride: : → It can also be prepared by ion exchange from sodium pyrophosphate or by treating lead pyrophosphate with hydrogen sulfide. Reactions Pyrophosphoric acid is a tetraprotic acid, with four distinct pKa's: :, pKa = 0.85 :, pKa = 1.96 :, pKa = 6.60 :, pKa = 9.41 The pKa's occur in two distinct ranges because deprotonations occur on separate phosphate groups. For comparison with the pKa's for phosphoric acid are ...

Hydrogen Compounds
Hydrogen compounds are compounds containg the element hydrogen. In these compounds, hydrogen can form in the +1 and -1 oxidation states. Hydrogen can form compounds both ionically and in covalent substances. It is a part of many organic compounds such as hydrocarbons as well as water and other organic substances. The ion is often called a proton because it has one proton and no electrons, although the proton does not move freely. Brønsted–Lowry acids are capable of donating ions to bases. Covalent and organic compounds While is not very reactive under standard conditions, it does form compounds with most elements. Hydrogen can form compounds with elements that are more electronegative, such as halogens (F, Cl, Br, I), or oxygen; in these compounds hydrogen takes on a partial positive charge. When bonded to a more electronegative element, particularly fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen, hydrogen can participate in a form of medium-strength noncovalent bonding with another elect ...

Sulfuric Acid
Sulfuric acid (American spelling and the preferred IUPAC name) or sulphuric acid ( Commonwealth spelling), known in antiquity as oil of vitriol, is a mineral acid composed of the elements sulfur, oxygen and hydrogen, with the molecular formula . It is a colorless, odorless and viscous liquid that is miscible with water. Pure sulfuric acid does not exist naturally on Earth due to its strong affinity to water vapor; it is hygroscopic and readily absorbs water vapor from the air. Concentrated sulfuric acid is highly corrosive towards other materials, from rocks to metals, since it is an oxidant with powerful dehydrating properties. Phosphorus pentoxide is a notable exception in that it is not dehydrated by sulfuric acid, but to the contrary dehydrates sulfuric acid to sulfur trioxide. Upon addition of sulfuric acid to water, a considerable amount of heat is released; thus the reverse procedure of adding water to the acid should not be performed since the heat released may boi ...

Oleum
Oleum (Latin ''oleum'', meaning oil), or fuming sulfuric acid, is a term referring to solutions of various compositions of sulfur trioxide in sulfuric acid, or sometimes more specifically to disulfuric acid (also known as pyrosulfuric acid). Oleum is identified by the CAS number 8014-95-7 (EC/List number: 616-954-1 ECHA InfoCard: 100.116.872. Oleums can be described by the formula ''y''SO3·H2O where ''y'' is the total molar mass of sulfur trioxide content. The value of ''y'' can be varied, to include different oleums. They can also be described by the formula H2SO4·''x''SO3 where ''x'' is now defined as the molar free sulfur trioxide content. Oleum is generally assessed according to the free SO3 content by mass. It can also be expressed as a percentage of sulfuric acid strength; for oleum concentrations, that would be over 100%. For example, 10% oleum can also be expressed as H2SO4·''0.13611''SO3, ''1.13611''SO3·H2O or 102.25% sulfuric acid. The conversion between % acid and ...

Disulfurous Acid
Disulfurous acid or pyrosulfurous acid is an oxoacid of sulfur with the formula H2S2O5. The salts of disulfurous acid are called disulfites or metabisulfites. Disulfurous acid is, like sulfurous acid (H2SO3), a phantom acid, which does not exist in the free state. In contrast to disulfate (), disulfite has two directly connected sulfur atoms. The oxidation state In chemistry, the oxidation state, or oxidation number, is the hypothetical charge of an atom if all of its bonds to different atoms were fully ionic. It describes the degree of oxidation (loss of electrons) of an atom in a chemical compound. C ... of the sulfur atom bonded to three oxygen atoms is +5 while that of the other is +3.

Potassium Pyrosulfate
Potassium pyrosulfate, or potassium disulfate, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula K2S2O7. Production Potassium pyrosulfate is obtained by the thermal decomposition of other salts, most directly from potassium bisulfate: : 2 KHSO4 → K2S2O7 + H2O Temperatures above 600°C further decompose potassium pyrosulfate to potassium sulfate and sulfur trioxide however: : K2S2O7 → K2SO4 + SO3 Other salts, such as potassium trisulfate, can also decompose into potassium pyrosulfate. Chemical structure Potassium pyrosulfate contains the pyrosulfate anion which has a dichromate-like structure. The geometry can be visualized as a tetrahedron with two corners sharing the SO4 anion's configuration and a centrally bridged oxygen atom. A semi- structural formula for the pyrosulfate anion is O3SOSO32−. The oxidation state of sulfur in this compound is +6. Uses Potassium pyrosulfate is used in analytical chemistry; samples are fused with potassium pyrosulfate, (or a mix ...
